Happy spring equinox! The dark days of winter are behind us and everyone seems to be feeling more energetic, going out more, and getting motivated to live healthier. Are you ready to shed some layers and show some skin as the weather warms up? Today I will share a classic naturopathic technique for stimulating gentle detoxification of your lymphatics, circulatory system and skin, called “dry skin brushing.”

HOW TO DO DRY SKIN BRUSHING: </ul>
Use a large-headed, very soft bristled brush (found at health food stores in the health and beauty aid section.) Dry brush the entire body (except the face) before bathing, gently but thoroughly, three times a week. Start brushing at your hands and feet and work towards your heart in small, smooth circles. Brushing your whole body takes about 15 minutes. It feels invigorating and makes your skin glow!
